刚果民主共和国西部靠近姆班达卡的地方爆发了新的埃博拉疫情。刚果（金）卫生部确认有6人确诊，其中4人死亡。请看本报昨日的报道：

A fresh outbreak of the deadly Ebola virus has flared up in the Democratic Republic of Congo, a country that was already contending with the world’s largest measles epidemic, as well as the coronavirus.

Congo’s health ministry said that the new Ebola outbreak has killed four people, and infected at least two more, in Mbandaka, a city of 1.2 million people on the country’s western side. A fifth person died Monday, according to UNICEF, the United Nations agency for children.

Less than two months ago, Congo was about to declare an official end to an Ebola epidemic on the eastern side of the country that had lasted nearly two years and killed more than 2,275 people.

报道中的flare up就是“突然加剧、爆发”的意思：

My rash flared up when I went outdoors into the sunshine.

在户外的阳光下我起了很多皮疹。
